Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Charlie River (ranked 1657 p4p, 1405 weight class) and Richard Morrison (ranked 99 p4p, 85 weight class). River's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Waylon Jennings - I've Always Been Crazy. 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.
