Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Samuel Turbitt (ranked 1538 p4p, 3263 weight class) and Billy Brown (ranked 186 p4p, 383 weight class). Turbitt's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Tell Me Ma. Brown has chosen CCR - Bad Moon Rising 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.
