Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Iggy Manley (ranked 2296 p4p, 271 weight class) and Nikki Sixx (ranked 1709 p4p, 211 weight class). Manley's entrance music is Born in the USA. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Sixx's choice of entrance music: Niykee Heaton. 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.
