Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Pablo Noriega (ranked 740 p4p, 1054 weight class) and Crush Bandicoot (ranked 77 p4p, 115 weight class). Noriega's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, MS-13 Mara Salvatrucha. 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.
