Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Darcy Lilo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Madness (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Madness has chosen SHOWDOWN 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.
