Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jackson Faber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Narong Yeerum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Faber's entrance music is m.o.v.e - around the world. A fine choice. Yeerum has chosen I Love You as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
