Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Wanderson Machado (ranked 125 p4p, 265 weight class) and Tanaka Matsuda (ranked 13 p4p, 36 weight class). Machado comes to the cage accompanied by El Barrio. The crowd seem to be enjoying Matsuda's choice of entrance music: Avenged Sevenfold - Hail to the King. 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.
