Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Django Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eli Armis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brown comes to the cage accompanied by System Of A Down - Chic 'N' Stu. The crowd seem to be enjoying Armis's choice of entrance music: Mortal Kombat Theme. 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.
