Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Brit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Deejay Vendetta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brit's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Same in the End. Vendetta is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Killswitch Engage - Save Me. 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.
