Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Fernando Prado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lukasz Wolek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Prado's entrance music is Remember The Name. A fine choice. Wolek has chosen DMX - Ruff Ryders anthem as his entrance music. 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.
