Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jason Dunk (ranked 1479 p4p, 2776 weight class) and Angus Scott (ranked 203 p4p, 352 weight class). Scott has chosen Eatin pussy and kickin ass 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.
