Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Laurel Aitken (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Kick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aitken's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Two Joints- Sublime. Kick has chosen M.O.P. - Ante Up 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.
