Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tazuboku Kayo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paolo Da Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kayo's entrance music is Flipsyde - Someday. A fine choice. Da Silva has chosen Capoeira do Brasil (Sergio Mendes & Brazil 66) as his entrance music. 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 Paolo Da Silva was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
