Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Michel Rodalgo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and DeAngelo Spite (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rodalgo's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ace of Spades - By Motorhead. Spite has chosen Nelly - "Here Comes The Boom" 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.
