Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jesus Sanchez (ranked 3487 p4p, 2598 weight class) and Coyote Wolf (ranked 476 p4p, 378 weight class).

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yeshua Immanuel (ranked 2546 p4p, 2210 weight class) and Leonidas Dominguez (ranked 371 p4p, 324 weight class). Dominguez has chosen Vaso de Cristal as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Leonidas Dominguez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
