Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Steve Partridge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luis Alberto Perez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

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.
