Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack McCullough (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Junior Alvares (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McCullough's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bodies by Drowning Pool. 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.
