Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kassim Magufuli I V (ranked 32 p4p, 6 weight class) and Ja Wuan Robinson (ranked 70 p4p, 9 weight class). Robinson has chosen Middle Of The Road - Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep as his entrance music. 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.
