Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Altair Brain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Conor The Highlander (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brain comes to the cage accompanied by 300 Violin. The Highlander has chosen Notorious Biggie Small as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
