Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Enrique Rizzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bu Laia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rizzo comes to the cage accompanied by The Trial. Laia has chosen ""E Ala E" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole 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.
