Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Cronus Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hans Solo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones comes to the cage accompanied by Never Thought About Going Back. The crowd seem to be enjoying Solo's choice of entrance music: Highway to the Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins. 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.
