Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dallas MacMillan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antoine Wallace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). MacMillan's entrance music is The Outlaw. A fine choice. Wallace has chosen Pray by Jay-Z feat. Rob Dougan 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.
