Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Frankie Logan (ranked 140 p4p, 261 weight class) and Brady Jean Baptiste (ranked 15 p4p, 35 weight class). Logan comes to the cage accompanied by The Evil Scotsman. Jean Baptiste is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Born on the Bayou.
