Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Klay Dee (ranked 966 p4p, 120 weight class) and Giuseppe Amodei (ranked 1040 p4p, 128 weight class). Dee's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Tyler, The Creator - Who Dat Boy. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
