Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Augustus Moukari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Craig Mason (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Moukari's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Sunblock - I'll Be Ready. 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.
