Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Huang Tze Long (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shazaam McDaniels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McDaniels is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Tubthumping by Chumbawamba. 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.
