Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Domenico Mazziotti (ranked 65 p4p, 237 weight class) and Yusuke Urameshi (ranked 7 p4p, 30 weight class). Mazziotti's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Welcome to the party - Pop Smoke. Urameshi has chosen Smile Bomb as his entrance music. 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.
