Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Paul Eclaro (ranked 458 p4p, 1679 weight class) and Ray Apollo (ranked 35 p4p, 129 weight class). Eclaro comes to the cage accompanied by I'm The Boy. Apollo comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Circus - Britney Spears kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
