Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Clicket Ticket (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tapater Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ticket comes to the cage accompanied by Pantera Walk. Rua is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Hordes Of Chaos. 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.
