Co-main event

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jalaluddin Aziz (ranked 570 p4p, 71 weight class) and Francis Fitzpatrick (ranked 153 p4p, 19 weight class). Aziz's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Dalshar Project - Afghan Rastaman. 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.
