Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Harold Shipman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ahsan Hamed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shipman comes to the cage accompanied by Amazing. Hamed is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ahmed's Theme. 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.
