Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Longwei Jiang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lee Murray (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jiang's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, BRMC / Weapon Of Choice. Murray has chosen KO muzik as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Lee Murray was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
