Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Neymar Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamie White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Santos kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Garota de Ipanema. White has chosen Kendrick Lamar - HUMBLE. as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
