Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Carney Duffy (ranked 383 p4p, 50 weight class) and Sud Saming (ranked 423 p4p, 61 weight class). Duffy's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Brawl - Bloody spit. Saming is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Enter the Tiger. 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.
