Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Donald Evans (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karl Karlsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Karlsson has chosen Nemesis by Arch Enemy 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.
