Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Matt Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Guilherme Alves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Miller might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Johnny Cash - Hurt. Alves has chosen Guerreiro by Curumin as his entrance music. Guilherme Alves is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
