Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Johnny The Rocket (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Quincy Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The Rocket comes into the arena with Airplanes - B.O.B. and Hayley Williams 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.
