Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Quentain Martell (ranked 491 p4p, 1086 weight class) and Tom Tomson (ranked 63 p4p, 140 weight class). Martell's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I Pledge Allegiance (Nate Dogg ft. Pharoahe Monch). 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.
