Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Perko Late (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Young (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Late comes to the cage accompanied by Fabolous - My Time ft. Jeremih . Young has chosen "Rev it Up" by Jesse James Dupree 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.
