Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Pedro Filho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Microscopic Hunt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Filho's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Symphony Of Destruction. Hunt has chosen Bad to The Bone 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.
