Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mauricio Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Nuclear (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rua comes into the arena with Roy Jones - Can't be touched blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Nuclear's choice of entrance music: Nuclear Assault - Critical Mass. 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.
