Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeffrey Gill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Albano Taborda Junior (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gill comes to the cage accompanied by Welcome to the Jungle. Taborda Junior has chosen Ratos de Porao - Qual sera o proximo alvo da America as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Albano Taborda Junior was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
