Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joaquin Fortunato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Doug Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fortunato's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven . Davis has chosen Stan Bush - Dare 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.
