Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between John MaGee (ranked 3283 p4p, 335 weight class) and Steph Curry (ranked 3256 p4p, 332 weight class). MaGee's entrance music is Cunnilingus. A fine choice. Curry has chosen Metallica - Enter Sandman as his entrance music. 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.
