Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Gianluca Alampi (ranked 4632 p4p, 4603 weight class) and Buck Bentley (ranked 360 p4p, 359 weight class). Alampi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Symphony Of Destruction. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
