Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Danny Danger (ranked 60 p4p, 192 weight class) and Chaikka Chai (ranked 12 p4p, 29 weight class). Danger comes to the cage accompanied by Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go. Chai is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Dead Man Walking. 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.
