Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Harry Distacio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lazarus Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Distacio's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Art of War. Jones is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Enter Sandman - Metallica. 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.
