Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Aristides Abel (ranked 808 p4p, 758 weight class) and Eric Osiris (ranked 130 p4p, 118 weight class). Abel comes to the cage accompanied by Express Yourself. The crowd seem to be enjoying Osiris's choice of entrance music: Erbody But Me by Tech N9ne. 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.
