Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Mouwanga (ranked 2520 p4p, 276 weight class) and Billy Bush (ranked 4533 p4p, 445 weight class). Mouwanga's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Welcome to the Jungle. 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.
