Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Diego Braga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pound Ground (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Braga kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Oppa Gangnam Style - PSY. Diego Braga looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
