Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Julian Bashir (ranked 766 p4p, 1014 weight class) and Wang Dong (ranked 57 p4p, 63 weight class). Bashir's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Exodus - The Toxic Waltz. 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.
