Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jackson Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dave Stackhouse (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stackhouse is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Every Time I Die - Roman Holiday. 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.
