Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Justus Sheehan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bancroft Rothschild (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sheehan's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Under the Dome. Rothschild is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Light. 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.
