Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Von Magnaron (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nosyaj Rram (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rram has chosen Grace - You Don't Own Me ft. G-Eazy 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.
