Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rodrigo Almeida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joilton Nogueira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Almeida kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rock You Like a Hurricane. Nogueira has chosen TUF Brasil as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Joilton Nogueira is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
