Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Aigars Senko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Simon Morgan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Senko comes into the arena with will.i.am T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever) blaring out of the sound system. Morgan has chosen Sherry Monocle 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.
