Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Martin Luther King Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sun Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). King Jr's entrance music is MLK tribute. A fine choice. Lee is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Made in China. Sun Lee will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
