Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Childish Gambino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lamont Sanford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gambino's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, RAW (backwards). Sanford has chosen Stevie Wonder - Superstition as his entrance music. 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.
