Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Angelito Barraquinha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vasily Smyslov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barraquinha's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Mamas & The Papas - Dream a little dream of me. Smyslov comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Potpourri D'Orange (SZS MAD Ver.) kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
