Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Zica Brava (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Felix St Pierre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brava kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Chimaira - Nothing Remains. 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.
