Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mari Ore (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yason Tupaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ore's entrance music is The Pack - My Girl Got A Girl Too. A fine choice. Tupaz is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Step Up. 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.
