Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Blaze (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Moses Sithole (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Blaze comes to the cage accompanied by Monster by Skillet. Sithole has chosen I Miss The Misery 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.
