Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jakob Goulding (ranked 22775 p4p, 593 weight class) and Pablo Itzpapalotltotec (ranked 5734 p4p, 455 weight class). Itzpapalotltotec has chosen Copacabana - Barry Manilow as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight!
