Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shotgun Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Filemom Macarenco (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Macarenco's choice of entrance music: Carry On My Wayward Son. Shotgun Rua looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
