Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jackson Grant (ranked 3246 p4p, 5254 weight class) and Rover Satoshi (ranked 342 p4p, 469 weight class). Grant kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ain't It Funny. 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.
