Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ikemba Onazi (ranked 2454 p4p, 288 weight class) and Luiz Franca (ranked 1165 p4p, 159 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Onazi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Harrysong - Samankwe. Franca has chosen The Greatest Showman as his entrance music. Luiz Franca is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
