Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Danilo Oliveira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Iberico (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Oliveira comes to the cage accompanied by New Divide. Iberico has chosen Pa' Bravo YO as his entrance music. Danilo Oliveira looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
