Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jacques Turcotte (ranked 102 p4p, 220 weight class) and Olenev Stepanovich (ranked 20 p4p, 39 weight class). Stepanovich has chosen Swallowing Dust as his entrance music. 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.
