Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jake Damien (ranked 224 p4p, 623 weight class) and Dick Winters (ranked 32 p4p, 96 weight class). Winters has chosen All Along the Watchtower 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.
