Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joao Capitao (ranked 5554 p4p, 444 weight class) and Kal Bo (ranked 5477 p4p, 441 weight class). Bo has chosen Breaking The Habit as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Joao Capitao looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
