Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Pol Cuaresma Vi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Colt Steel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cuaresma Vi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Keys to the Kingdom. Steel has chosen 'The Sparrow Looks Up At The Machine' by The Flaming Lips as his entrance music. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
