Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Macka Briggs (ranked 510 p4p, 588 weight class) and Peguero Jean Philippe (ranked 81 p4p, 95 weight class). Briggs's entrance music is Stepping Razor by Peter Tosh. A fine choice. Philippe has chosen Chant vaudou haitien 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.
