Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Brett Rodgers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Daley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rodgers has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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.
