Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gray Maynard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jao Thongchai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maynard's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Young Jezzy- Lose my mind. 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.
