Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between De Bruyne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Don Juan Matus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bruyne's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Busta Rhymes - Other Side Of The Road . Matus has chosen Crow Spirit 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.
