Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Omer Demirci (ranked 461 p4p, 865 weight class) and Jamil Hurst (ranked 74 p4p, 140 weight class). Hurst has chosen Keep Their Heads Ringin' 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.
