Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Punchers Chance (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chance comes to the ring accompanied by Mama said knock u out!. Smith has chosen In The Morning as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
