Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Daughtrey (ranked 468 p4p, 615 weight class) and Dragomir Savic (ranked 63 p4p, 86 weight class). Savic has chosen Good Day 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.
