Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Red Fox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chan-Sung Jung (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fox kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sanford and Son. 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.
