Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Obi Ojo (ranked 2555 p4p, 3584 weight class) and Jason Macmahon (ranked 332 p4p, 454 weight class). Ojo's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, X-Ray Dog - Final Hour. Macmahon is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Money over bitches by MOB. 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.
