Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Colonel Chilcoat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jp Benn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Benn has chosen Icarus by Hopesfall as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
