Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Anderson Shelter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vince Bartone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shelter's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Boom! Shake The Room. Bartone has chosen Toto Cotugno - L'italiano 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.
