Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Arnar Agnarsson (ranked 1246 p4p, 157 weight class) and Evan Page (ranked 603 p4p, 77 weight class). Agnarsson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Drop death - Scream. Page has chosen Planning a Prison Break 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.
