Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Herring (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joao Vitor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Herring kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I get knocked down, but I get up again!. Vitor has chosen Pregador Luo - Apaga Mas Não Bate as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
