Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jack Gibson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Choi Yong Sool (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gibson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Futuristic Sex Robotz - If I Ruled The World. Yong Sool is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Yangyu Conspiracy. 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.
