Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Augustus Belvedere IV (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Parvati Mellia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Belvedere IV's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Young Forever - JAY Z | Mr. Hudson. Mellia has chosen KMA - Pommeja 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.
