Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luciano Bizarria (ranked 1733 p4p, 244 weight class) and Hector Stefan (ranked 864 p4p, 129 weight class). Bizarria kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Arnaldo Antunes - Alta Noite. The crowd seem to be enjoying Stefan's choice of entrance music: Onward to Victory. 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?
