Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Cassit Heiluu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ben Dingdown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Heiluu's entrance music is Kerrankin Tarpeekseen. A fine choice. Dingdown has chosen Baggy Trousers as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
