Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jesse Dirk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clay Mercer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dirk's entrance music is Wild Boy by Machine Gun Kelly. A fine choice. Mercer is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Kid CuDi - Wylin Cuz I'm Young. 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.
