Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jaemin Jeong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jackson Savage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jeong's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Itaewon Freedom - UV feat JY Park. The crowd seem to be enjoying Savage's choice of entrance music: Bon Jovi - It's my life. This should be a great matchup!
