Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Paul Joseph Watson (ranked 2829 p4p, 330 weight class) and William Norman (ranked 2146 p4p, 268 weight class). Watson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Anarchy in the UK. Norman has chosen Neil Diamond - Sweet Caroline 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.
