Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jimothy Mazor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafael Joao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mazor might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Enter Sandman By Metallica. Joao has chosen 313 ft. Eye Kyu as his entrance music.
