Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Dzuzaska Guzman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stan Rivers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Guzman's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Tupac- Ambitionz Az a Ridah. Rivers has chosen Cyco Vision as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
