Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Leroy Jinx (ranked 271 p4p, 508 weight class) and Mental Warrior (ranked 44 p4p, 76 weight class). Jinx's entrance music is Shake Your Blood. A fine choice. Warrior has chosen Side to Side 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.
