Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rafael Habanero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tiago Camilo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Habanero might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to NERD - Rockstar. Camilo has chosen Time as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Tiago Camilo told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
