Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jason Overfield Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pena Trasseli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Overfield Jr kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I Need A Doctor. Trasseli has chosen Look at my horse! 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.
