Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rock Romero (ranked 439 p4p, 876 weight class) and Caio Carvalho (ranked 58 p4p, 119 weight class). Carvalho comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Pentagono - É o Moio kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
