Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ramon Escobar Chavez (ranked 338 p4p, 41 weight class) and Danny Brixton (ranked 331 p4p, 40 weight class). Escobar Chavez's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Buena Vista Social Club - Hasta Siempre. Brixton is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Bad Boys - Stormzy ft. Ghetts & J Hus. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
