Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mick Dundee (ranked 572 p4p, 85 weight class) and Boo Lee (ranked 582 p4p, 86 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Lee's choice of entrance music: Mama Said Knock You Out. 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.
