Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gunner State (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Duncan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). State's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Blaze Of Glory by Bon Jovi. Duncan has chosen Falling - Drapht as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
