Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Johnson Briggs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mister Deeds (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Briggs's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Can't Be Touched. Deeds is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Palmdale by Afroman. 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.
