Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Lyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robbie Mederios (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lyle comes into the arena with Who's your Daddy by Mook N Fair blaring out of the sound system. Mederios has chosen Amazing Grace by The Dropkick Murphys as his entrance music. 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.
