Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mickey Garcia (ranked 674 p4p, 570 weight class) and Shen Po (ranked 96 p4p, 74 weight class). Garcia kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is S.G. Sinnicks - St Patrick Battalion. Po has chosen Ei-tetsu Hayashi & 木下伸市 as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
