Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Carlos Eduardo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wes Miles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Eduardo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Numb. The crowd seem to be enjoying Miles's choice of entrance music: Kings of Leon - Closer. 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.
