Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Frank Murder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Donatien Alphonse Francois de Sade (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). de Sade has chosen Kill The Afterlife by Audiotist 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.
