Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Khalil Burnett (ranked 454 p4p, 370 weight class) and Chaikka Chai (ranked 63 p4p, 52 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Chai's choice of entrance music: 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.
