Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cerberus Dionisy (ranked 57 p4p, 97 weight class) and Julio Cruzeiro (ranked 10 p4p, 19 weight class). Dionisy comes to the cage accompanied by Voodoo. Cruzeiro has chosen Linval Thompson - Jah Jah The Conqueror as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
