Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Joey Simone (ranked 784 p4p, 102 weight class) and Whorely Alvarez (ranked 2731 p4p, 313 weight class). Simone kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Shakewell - Leglock. 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.
