Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Raate Road (ranked 21 p4p, 86 weight class) and Frank Morrison (ranked 3 p4p, 10 weight class). Road's entrance music is For Heavy Metal we will die!. A fine choice. Morrison is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Dead By Daylight - Legion Theme. 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.
