Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rodel Hiligaynon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thurgood Jenkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hiligaynon's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Down and Out . Jenkins has chosen Mary Jane as his entrance music. 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.
