Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Vitor Belagio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and john lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Belagio's entrance music is Dopeman by KRS-1. A fine choice. Vitor Belagio looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
