Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tim Augustine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eddie Kingston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Augustine comes to the cage accompanied by The Stooges - I Wanna Be Your Dog. Kingston has chosen Public Enemy - Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
