Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Augustus Fink Nottle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lee Chaolan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fink Nottle's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Pomp and Circumstance. The crowd seem to be enjoying Chaolan's choice of entrance music: Seek 'N' Strike. 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.
