Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Maria Ozawa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randall Flagg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Flagg has chosen Johnny Cash - The Man Comes Around 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.
