Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Lerry Sancio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Orson Welles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sancio comes to the ring accompanied by Before I Forget. Welles has chosen Thomas the Tank Engine vs. Biggy Smalls 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.
