Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Julius Henderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricky Icky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Icky has chosen Wrecking Ball 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.
