Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sean Whelan (ranked 3973 p4p, 488 weight class) and Kelvin Degree (ranked 6587 p4p, 637 weight class). Whelan's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Childish Gambino - Redbone (70s Remix). Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
