Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Anthony Falcone (ranked 180 p4p, 23 weight class) and Cody Brinks (ranked 385 p4p, 49 weight class). Falcone's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I Will Be Heard. 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.
