Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sehertaui Intef (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Theme from The Tick. Intef has chosen Solitaire Unraveling as his entrance music. 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.
