Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rain Hernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and mirko filipovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hernandez's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Thunderkiss 65 by White Zombie. 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.
