Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Michael Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Connor McManus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones comes to the cage accompanied by Professor Green - Monster . McManus has chosen Jeff Danna - 'The Blood of Cú Chulainn' 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.
