Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Felix Suarez (ranked 1114 p4p, 1749 weight class) and Caio Victor (ranked 143 p4p, 219 weight class). Suarez's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Mexican Sun. 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.
