Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Randy Orton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ippo Makunouchi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Orton's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Voices by Rev Theory. Makunouchi has chosen Pretender 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.
