Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rio Vegas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Alves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alves comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Blue Stahli-ULTRAnumb kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Alves has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Rio Vegas could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Michael Alves's chin.
