Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Battling Bob (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kid Soplamocos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bob comes to the cage accompanied by Ace of Base - Beautiful Life. Soplamocos has chosen Gonna Fly Now!!! Accurated music for a Title Shot!!! as his entrance music. 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.
