Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ares Constantinides (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Moses Diggs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Constantinides comes to the cage accompanied by War by Judas Priest. Diggs has chosen IM ALL IN as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins.
