Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sergey Burenkov (ranked 953 p4p, 1011 weight class) and Joey Simone (ranked 146 p4p, 157 weight class). Simone has chosen Gucci Mane - Trap God Intro 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.
