Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mike Anus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan Eastmond (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anus comes to the cage accompanied by Nick Diaz Rap Song. Eastmond has chosen Nelly- Here Comes The Boom 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.
