Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Hop Sing (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gabe Manuel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sing's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Gettin Jiggy wit It. Manuel has chosen Irations- Falling 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.
