Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Victor Sharp (ranked 787 p4p, 124 weight class) and Jack Shaw (ranked 669 p4p, 107 weight class). Sharp comes to the cage accompanied by Immortal Technique-Cause Of Death. Shaw is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Family Force 5 - Chainsaw. 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.
