Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Waleed Malik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eric Ford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Malik's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Can't Be Touched. Ford has chosen For What It's Worth as his entrance music. 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.
