Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Rex Gunn (ranked 628 p4p, 867 weight class) and Gagong UnEqual (ranked 48 p4p, 62 weight class). Gunn's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Miami. The crowd seem to be enjoying UnEqual's choice of entrance music: C'mon Man - WTFBRAHH!. 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.
