Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rip Snorten (ranked 1194 p4p, 137 weight class) and Daniel Mouwanga (ranked 2055 p4p, 235 weight class). Snorten's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Sound of Silence. Mouwanga has chosen Welcome to the Jungle 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.
