Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Colin Croft (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ugor Makinwa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Croft's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I Came to Play - Downstait. 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.
