Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between sergius Serra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Curtis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Serra kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Drowning Pool- The Game. 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.
