Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rashad Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fro Rogan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones comes into the arena with Hopsin - Ill Mind Of Hopsin 4 blaring out of the sound system. 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.
