Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Caio Carvalho (ranked 1172 p4p, 1490 weight class) and Albert Sojka (ranked 169 p4p, 205 weight class). Carvalho comes to the cage accompanied by Pentagono - É o Moio. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
