Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Puppy Love (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dave Hawkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Love kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Otherside by Mackemore X Ryan Lewis. 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.
