Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Michael Requina (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Felipe Moreira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Moreira's choice of entrance music: Samba de janeiro - bellini. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
