Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jase Robertson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Baraka Simengwa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Robertson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to SAIL by AwolNation. Simengwa has chosen Afande Sele feat Ditto - Darubini kali as his entrance music. The key to victory for Jase Robertson has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
