Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hassan i Sabbah (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Cash (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sabbah's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, War Dogs. Cash has chosen Manhunt Theme as his entrance music. 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.
