Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Giorgio Jacques (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Swag In A Bag (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jacques comes to the cage accompanied by Motörhead - Ace of Spades. Bag has chosen American bad ass 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.
