Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between James Howlett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ratt Hughes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Howlett comes to the cage accompanied by Berserker. Hughes has chosen Country boy can survive 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.
