Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jay Canas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Helio Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Canas's entrance music is DMX-Stop Being Greedy. A fine choice. Gracie comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Dufflebag Boy kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Helio Gracie will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
