Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Evandro Brandao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joshua Lynch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brandao comes into the arena with Tool - Forty Six & 2 blaring out of the sound system. Lynch has chosen Dezarie / Most High as his entrance music. 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.
