Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Farley Steve (ranked 747 p4p, 121 weight class) and Harry Distacio Jr (ranked 2476 p4p, 365 weight class). Steve comes to the cage accompanied by Justin Bieber ft. Ariana Grande - Let Me Think Bout You. Distacio Jr has chosen Red - Darkest Part 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.
