Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Simon Pegg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Siblas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Siblas's choice of entrance music: Furious Angels by Rob Dougan. 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.
