Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vinicius Ramos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Youngblood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ramos kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Killers - Somebody Told Me. Youngblood has chosen Linkin Park - Numb as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
