Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Matheus Carvalho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Quik Yin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carvalho's entrance music is Notorious BIG - Victory. A fine choice. Yin is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by I Got A Feeling (lol :P). 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?
