Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Red Brophy (ranked 292 p4p, 28 weight class) and Eugenio Antonio (ranked 261 p4p, 25 weight class). Brophy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is JME - The Very Best. 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.
