Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Angelito Barraquinha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ross Kemp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barraquinha comes to the cage accompanied by The Mamas & The Papas - Dream a little dream of me. Kemp has chosen Cockney Thug as his entrance music. Kemp has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Angelito Barraquinha has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
