Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pablo Sir (ranked 1430 p4p, 197 weight class) and Mario Diaz (ranked 1351 p4p, 188 weight class). Diaz comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Troublesome '96 - 2pac kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
