Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andy Bangsit (ranked 45 p4p, 8 weight class) and Boo Lee (ranked 213 p4p, 29 weight class). Lee has chosen Mama Said Knock You Out 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.
