Le Delma comes to the cage accompanied by Hey Oh. Lutang has chosen Enter The LuTang as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ezequiel Canizares (ranked 1185 p4p, 1623 weight class) and Manco Capac (ranked 157 p4p, 221 weight class). Canizares comes into the arena with El Loco blaring out of the sound system. Capac is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Iggy Pop - The Passenger. 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yago Nascimento (ranked 28 p4p, 121 weight class) and Clarence Hoost (ranked 2 p4p, 20 weight class).
