Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Karl Grossman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jay Colmen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Grossman's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Devil's Rejects. 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.
