Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Bobby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vernon Rookshaw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rookshaw has chosen Mouth for War as his entrance music. Bobby Bobby had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.7lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. This should be fireworks!
