Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Nagashima (ranked 1292 p4p, 527 weight class) and Jeremy Motts (ranked 151 p4p, 68 weight class). Nagashima's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, O Rappa- Anjos pra Quem Tem Fe. 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.
