Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Peguero Jean Philippe (ranked 613 p4p, 828 weight class) and Joe Exotic (ranked 90 p4p, 121 weight class). Philippe comes into the arena with Chant vaudou haitien blaring out of the sound system. Exotic has chosen Joe Exotic - I Saw a Tiger as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
