Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Beta Knox (ranked 1803 p4p, 183 weight class) and Philip Ziskie (ranked 883 p4p, 97 weight class). Knox kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Anthrax | Fight Em Till You Can't. 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.
