Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Light Heavyweight (ranked 600 p4p, 94 weight class) and Jamel Moore (ranked 2228 p4p, 330 weight class). Moore has chosen Guerilla Black feat. Beenie Man - Compton 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.
