Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Juliano Junior (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and lyoto Machida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Junior kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Soulfly - Brasil. Juliano Junior looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
