Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fionn Mac Cumhaill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Orange (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mac Cumhaill 's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Warriors Code . Orange has chosen Bob Seger- Turn the Page 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.
