Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Reggie Warren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Willie Wynn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Warren's entrance music is God's gonna cut you down by Jonny Cash. A fine choice. Wynn is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Flower Of Scotland - Red Hot Chilli Pipers. 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.
