Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Zakumi Jabulani (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vicky Vegas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jabulani's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, K'naan - Wavin´ flag. The crowd seem to be enjoying Vegas's choice of entrance music: The Prodigy 'Omen'. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
