Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Long Hung Dong (ranked 212 p4p, 190 weight class) and Ri Zaadha (ranked 38 p4p, 33 weight class). Zaadha is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: On A Roll. 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.
