Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Henrique Ramos (ranked 438 p4p, 56 weight class) and Riza Rakija (ranked 919 p4p, 124 weight class). Ramos's entrance music is Sepultura - Nomad. A fine choice. Rakija has chosen Rakija as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
