Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Sebastian Rynkowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rollo Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rynkowski kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mama Selita - 303. Gracie has chosen Jiu Jitsu: Apaga Mas Não Bate as his entrance music. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
