Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Lucien Lachance (ranked 85 p4p, 325 weight class) and Aingot Nofud (ranked 11 p4p, 48 weight class). Lachance comes to the cage accompanied by Scarecrow. Nofud has chosen Van Hackson 5 - Mean Machine as his entrance music. 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.
