Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Gene St Piper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyler Mayfield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). St Piper's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, In The Morning. Mayfield has chosen Dean Martin - Ain't That a Kick in the Head 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.
