Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Alex Trager (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Itor Lamope (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Trager comes to the cage accompanied by Bang Bang. The crowd seem to be enjoying Lamope's choice of entrance music: I'm Souljah. 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.
