Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pekka Pera (ranked 25 p4p, 6 weight class) and Pablo Maraçon (ranked 23 p4p, 4 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Maraçon's choice of entrance music: Pistolero. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
