Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Donny Donowitz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brandon Marsden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Donowitz's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Livin It Up. Marsden is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Feiticeira by Deftones. 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.
