Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between renato paiva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arthur Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think paiva might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to sexy bitch. Jackson has chosen Single Ladies (Put a ring on it) as his entrance music. 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.
