Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Yuri Boyka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Collin Glorious (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boyka's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, SnoopDogg - Breathe It. Glorious has chosen Rick Ross ft Weezy - I'm a G 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.
