Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jackson Alvarez (ranked 695 p4p, 1885 weight class) and Toby MacAlister (ranked 91 p4p, 221 weight class). Alvarez comes to the cage accompanied by Juan Luis Guerra - Soldado. MacAlister has chosen This Was My Life as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
