Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Florencio Dragovich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jose Aldo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dragovich comes into the arena with Pink Floyd - $MON€Y$ blaring out of the sound system. Aldo has chosen Rough Rida as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
