Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jarron Faith (ranked 1691 p4p, 3685 weight class) and Ceferino Garcia (ranked 144 p4p, 249 weight class). Garcia has chosen TheFatRat - P.S. as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
