Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jay Lopez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Simo Supermies (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lopez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Can't be touched. Supermies has chosen D12 - Fight Music as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jay Lopez has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
