Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wanderley Souza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Milo Stukov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Souza comes to the cage accompanied by Roy Jones - Can't be touched. Stukov has chosen Without God as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Wanderley Souza looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
