Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Martin Svensson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Holden Coulfield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Svensson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The State Of Massachusetts - Dropkick Murphys. Coulfield has chosen Beastie Boys-Intergalactic 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.
