Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Captain Gonza (ranked 396 p4p, 62 weight class) and Bobby Wangler (ranked 428 p4p, 70 weight class). Gonza comes to the cage accompanied by Mononoke Hime. Wangler is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Clash - I Fought The Law. 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.
