Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Brandon Wazesky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gram Mahone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mahone has chosen 300 Violin Orchestra 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.
