Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hiilo Rodrigo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dean Corll (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rodrigo's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Jedi Mind Tricks- The Philosophy of Horror. Corll is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: South Texas Death Ride. 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.
