Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between CJ Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Capoeira Oliveira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnson's entrance music is 2pac & Dr.Dre - California Love. A fine choice. Oliveira is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: White Ring - Roses. This should be a great matchup!
