Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Karry Mountain (ranked 611 p4p, 1098 weight class) and Jack Grave (ranked 87 p4p, 148 weight class). Grave has chosen War Pigs - Black Sabbath 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.
