Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jase Newson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Angelito Barraquinha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barraquinha has chosen The Mamas & The Papas - Dream A Little Dream Of Me as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
