Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Felix Inarritu (ranked 109 p4p, 254 weight class) and Tinashe Chukwuma (ranked 20 p4p, 41 weight class). Inarritu's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Vulcano. 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.
