Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Royal Pain (ranked 343 p4p, 44 weight class) and Brownie Anderson (ranked 191 p4p, 23 weight class). Pain comes to the cage accompanied by AC/DC Thunderstruck. Anderson has chosen !!! 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.
