Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Renan Ruas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jose Dos Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ruas comes to the cage accompanied by ATB- Could you believe. Ruas is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. Jose Dos Santos has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
