Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Matheus Ayricke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Umba Matumba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ayricke's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Pregador Luo - Bate Pesadão. 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.
