Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jade Malikai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Deep (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Malikai's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Big in Japan - Guano Apes. 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.
