Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jonathan Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bennito Masqual (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Williams kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire. Masqual has chosen Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger 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.
