Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jax Chambers (ranked 89 p4p, 249 weight class) and Marlon Gazersky (ranked 16 p4p, 39 weight class). Gazersky has chosen Clutch - Electric Worry 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.
