Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Juice Williams (ranked 2629 p4p, 339 weight class) and John Sullivan (ranked 3026 p4p, 390 weight class). Williams's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Super Freak. Sullivan has chosen The Hand of John L. Sullivan as his entrance music. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
