Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jack Walley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrew Lake (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Walley might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Funktasztikus - Finnugor Rap. Lake has chosen Saliva - Super Star as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
