Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ken Irrawaddy (ranked 787 p4p, 1421 weight class) and Kyle Kristian Galeos (ranked 110 p4p, 172 weight class). Irrawaddy's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Laos Rules!. 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.
