Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sergey Shipilov (ranked 35 p4p, 257 weight class) and Oliver Lancaster (ranked 4 p4p, 34 weight class). 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.
