Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Marcin Sokol (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Neymar Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sokol's entrance music is DMX - X gon' give it to Ya. A fine choice. Santos is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Garota de Ipanema. 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.
