Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Renan Melo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Diego Falcao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Melo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fireball - Pitbull. Falcao has chosen Charon - Sorrow Song 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.
