Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between William Joseph (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gray Son (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Joseph's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, TEARS FOR FEARS - SHOUT. 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.
