Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Alfredo Gomez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Deano Clavet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gomez's entrance music is We Can't Stop. A fine choice. Clavet has chosen Y Mouillera Pu Pantoute 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.
