Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Diogo Pinto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joao Alves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pinto comes to the cage accompanied by Do you really want to hurt me. Alves has chosen Carl Orff - Carmina Burana - André Rieu's version as his entrance music.
