Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yadiel Brown (ranked 3805 p4p, 2996 weight class) and Scott Thompson (ranked 432 p4p, 356 weight class). Brown comes to the cage accompanied by City of Angels. Thompson has chosen Redneck Summer - Ben Hudson 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.
