Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jack Hunt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonathan Marx (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hunt comes to the cage accompanied by Throw the Heat - Crips Have Blood Too. Marx has chosen Ramstein - Du Hast 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.
