Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Carlos Cadematori (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Gibson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cadematori's entrance music is Tedeschi Trucks Band - Bound for Glory. A fine choice. Gibson comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Futuristic Sex Robotz - If I Ruled The World kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
