Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Abner Applegate (ranked 192 p4p, 31 weight class) and Dean Corll (ranked 537 p4p, 71 weight class). Corll is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Candyman. 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.
