Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Todd Haskins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kid Soplamocos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Haskins's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Kid Rock - Bawitdaba. Soplamocos has chosen Eye of the Tiger!!! 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.
