Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jackson Bishop (ranked 821 p4p, 91 weight class) and Johny Vargas (ranked 2038 p4p, 212 weight class). Bishop's entrance music is Ghetts - Artillery. A fine choice. Vargas is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Drake - Trophies. 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.
