Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dylan McKay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juan Koski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McKay comes into the arena with Land Down Under blaring out of the sound system. Koski has chosen Accept - Head Over Heels 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.
