Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Goban Declan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Khal Drogo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Drogo's choice of entrance music: Tribes song. 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.
