Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Julio Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and rashad sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Deadmau5 - Some Chords. 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?
