Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ronaldo Muyeira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kratus Pretorian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Muyeira's entrance music is Death or Jail. A fine choice. Ronaldo Muyeira looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
