Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Boogie Rollins (ranked 1718 p4p, 269 weight class) and Isaiah Cooley (ranked 1670 p4p, 261 weight class). Rollins's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Fish Fight- King Khan and BBQ Show. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
