Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jingky Bacolod (ranked 703 p4p, 96 weight class) and Jax Chambers (ranked 2110 p4p, 228 weight class). Bacolod kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Havana. 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.
