Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lincoln Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joseph Watson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Watson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Walk Away by Five Finger Death Punch. 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.
