Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Roy Robinson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Robinson's entrance music is Redemption!!! from the movie Rocky II. A fine choice. Smith has chosen call to prayer as his entrance music. Roy Robinson could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Paul Smith's chin.
