Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Frank Reilly (ranked 464 p4p, 64 weight class) and Marvin Vettori (ranked 624 p4p, 80 weight class). Reilly kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Danko Jones - Do You Wanna Rock. Vettori is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Police On My Back- The Rocketz. 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.
