Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Lucky Lemon (ranked 187 p4p, 650 weight class) and Darstknasset Oystenteller (ranked 28 p4p, 90 weight class). Oystenteller has chosen "You're Having My Baby" by Paul Anka 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.
