Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Newton Carlos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Danny Ericson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carlos's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Break Stuff. Ericson comes into a darkened arena with his song building. We Fly High remix kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
