Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jonathan Mvungi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Felix Sandoval (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mvungi comes to the cage accompanied by Professor Jay ft. Ferooz - Nikusaidiaje?. Sandoval has chosen Overseer - Slayed 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.
