Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Glenn Benton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lenny Martin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Benton's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Deicide - Sacrificial Suicide. 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.
