Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between David Wuzz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michal Filipowicz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Filipowicz is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Duran Duran - The Wild Boys . Filipowicz has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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.
