Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Newman Ferguson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mickey Rodriguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ferguson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, "Walk" by Pantera. 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.
