Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tycho Brahe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jay Ludwig (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brahe comes into the arena with Astronomy by Metallica blaring out of the sound system. Ludwig is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Wasp - I wanna be somebody. 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.
