Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Renato Laranja (ranked 3313 p4p, 3175 weight class) and Torcadall Sailcirc (ranked 420 p4p, 408 weight class). Laranja's entrance music is Sepultura - The Hunt. A fine choice. Sailcirc is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by THE SCOTTS. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
