Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Healthy Rob (ranked 7566 p4p, 25573 weight class) and Jon Bones (ranked 662 p4p, 705 weight class). Rob's entrance music is Blank Space. A fine choice. Bones has chosen I BEAT YO' ASS as his entrance music. Rob is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. Jon Bones has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
