Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Abraham Donowitz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joao De Santo Cristo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Donowitz's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, JEW FLOW. De Santo Cristo comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Que país é esse? kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
