Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Aljamain Sterling (ranked 1117 p4p, 1041 weight class) and Sam Hiro Iwaga Genochin (ranked 60 p4p, 52 weight class). Sterling's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I Love. Iwaga Genochin has chosen Majinahanashi 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.
