Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Frankie Logan (ranked 653 p4p, 174 weight class) and Greg Connor (ranked 86 p4p, 22 weight class). Logan comes into the arena with The Evil Scotsman blaring out of the sound system. Connor is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Cherub Rock. 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.
