Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jonah Roncesvalles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julius Peppers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Roncesvalles's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Walk. The crowd seem to be enjoying Peppers's choice of entrance music: Day N Nite-Kid Cudi. 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.
