Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Carter Jose De La Cus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derek Acorah (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jose De La Cus's entrance music is Ariana Grande - Focus. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Acorah's choice of entrance music: Ella Henderson - Ghost . Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
