Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jupiter Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Victor Zsasz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Jupiter Sound. Zsasz has chosen 2Pac: When We Ride ft. Outlawz 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.
