Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Farboleous Ricard (ranked 8 p4p, 1 weight class) and Enitan Arendse (ranked 12 p4p, 2 weight class). Ricard's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Vibe Killer. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
