Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Spinbob Cantrell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Turk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cantrell's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Scorpions - Winds of Change. 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.
