Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Mister Vengeance (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antonio Livramento (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vengeance's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Melt-Banana - Shield For Your Eyes, A Beast in the Well on Your Hand. Livramento has chosen Rootbeer - Under Control 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.
