Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Anakin Osborne (ranked 2243 p4p, 2140 weight class) and Diego Lopez (ranked 269 p4p, 260 weight class). Osborne's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Anakin's Dark Deeds - John Williams. Lopez has chosen 2PAC - All Eyez on Me 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.
