Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sasa Gusi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stefano Spinelli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gusi's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Marsirala Kralja Petra Garda. Spinelli is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Limp Bizkit - My Way. 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.
