Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Smith (ranked 1722 p4p, 261 weight class) and Connor MacLeod (ranked 1796 p4p, 271 weight class). Smith's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Therion - Sitra Ahra. 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.
