Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Pate Hunt (ranked 1411 p4p, 1481 weight class) and Black Heart (ranked 86 p4p, 90 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Heart's choice of entrance music: Fear of the Dark. 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.
