Co-main event

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between The Great Gama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Hawthorn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gama's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Skrillex / Equinox. Hawthorn has chosen Sam & Dave - Soul Man 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.
