Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Trevor Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Artturi Soturi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith comes to the cage accompanied by ''Big Poppa'' by The Notorious B.I.G.. 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.
