Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Israel Hands (ranked 959 p4p, 908 weight class) and Aramis Knox (ranked 110 p4p, 103 weight class). Hands's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, A Collection of Sea Shanties. Knox has chosen You're Going Down | Sick Puppies 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.
