Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Will Messinger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aadyn Gibbs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Messinger's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Huckleberry by Ichabod. 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.
