Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gabi Elias (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Roll (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Roll has chosen Limp Bizkit - Rollin' 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.
