Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Minerva Wulf (ranked 715 p4p, 2146 weight class) and Leo Vuce (ranked 56 p4p, 150 weight class). Wulf's entrance music is Sanctus Dominus. A fine choice. Vuce is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by MC Yankoo. 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.
