Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mark Coleman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rogue Four (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Coleman's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Johnny Cash - Solitary Man. 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.
