Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Christopher Blackburn (ranked 2812 p4p, 295 weight class) and Ikemba Onazi (ranked 3504 p4p, 329 weight class). Blackburn's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ultra Nate - Free (Super Extended Dance Vocal Mix). Onazi is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Harrysong - Samankwe. 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.
