Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Otto Rajala (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Don't Fail Me Darko. Rajala has chosen The Game - Dope Boys 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.
