Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Shi Fu Tu (ranked 958 p4p, 120 weight class) and Leonardo Da Silva (ranked 3332 p4p, 311 weight class). Fu Tu's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Klendathu drop. Da Silva has chosen Lil Uzi Vert - XO Tour Llif3 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.
