Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jan Jedrzejczyk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Brophy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jedrzejczyk's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Chase And Status - Fire In Your Eyes ft. Maverick Sabre. Brophy has chosen The Grumpy Song 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.
