Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rich Corleone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Filip Decapovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Corleone's entrance music is Direct Hit!/Mixtapes - Werewolf Shame. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Decapovic's choice of entrance music: You Want Blood (You Got It) - AC/DC. 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.
