Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Johan Elia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antonio Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Davis's choice of entrance music: Franz Ferdinand - Ulysses. 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.
