Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bruno Rafael Batista Da Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Seifer Almasy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Batista Da Silva might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pride Theme. Almasy has chosen The Black Mages - Force Your Way as his entrance music. Seifer Almasy told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
