Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ronald Wagenknecht (ranked 925 p4p, 113 weight class) and Darren Tellkins (ranked 1790 p4p, 218 weight class). Tellkins has chosen Rae Sremmurd - Powerglide ft. Juicy J as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
