Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jaden Saint (ranked 686 p4p, 1917 weight class) and James McGuire (ranked 101 p4p, 260 weight class). Saint comes to the cage accompanied by For Heavy Metal we will die!. McGuire has chosen Metallica - Enter Sandman as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
