Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sean Carter Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Raimundo Oliveira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Williams's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Hollywood Undead - Been to Hell . Raimundo Oliveira has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
