Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lee Christmas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Fu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Christmas 's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Lil Wayne - Fireman. Fu has chosen SDJ-COMMANDOS 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.
