Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Aaron Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sheldon Maia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Hydraulix 13.5 - D.A.V.E. the Drummer & Alex Calver. Maia has chosen Bleed It Out 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.
