Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Aj Lugue (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Togo Izocalu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Izocalu is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Matti Nykänen - Markiisi de Sade . 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.
