Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bomb Com (ranked 213 p4p, 33 weight class) and Ramon Gracie (ranked 127 p4p, 16 weight class). Com's entrance music is Bombs Away. A fine choice. Gracie has chosen Jiu Jitsu: Vai Finaliza! 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.
