Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Barry Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alviero Gonalves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith comes to the cage accompanied by When Will They Shoot. Gonalves has chosen Tema dos Guerreiros-Pregador Luo as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Alviero Gonalves struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 267.4lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Alviero Gonalves will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
