Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Arvi Rausku (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oswaldo Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rausku kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Prodigy - Girls (sexy girls mix). Sanchez is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by In The Ghetto - By Elvis Presley. Oswaldo Sanchez will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
