Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Motoso Angostura (ranked 1295 p4p, 72 weight class) and Santiago Junior (ranked 1583 p4p, 87 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Angostura might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Drug Lord. The crowd seem to be enjoying Junior's choice of entrance music: Been Had . Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
