Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeff Lacy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jordan Peters (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lacy's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Final Countdown. Peters is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: the Ong Bak 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.
