Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Aishah Bin Sari (ranked 42 p4p, 40 weight class) and Renoa Gracie (ranked 6 p4p, 5 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bin Sari might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to For Heavy Metal we will die!. Gracie has chosen Apaga Mas Não Bate as his entrance music. 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.

Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
