Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Cole (ranked 1163 p4p, 668 weight class) and Dai Zexi (ranked 159 p4p, 95 weight class). Cole comes into the arena with I Won't Back Down blaring out of the sound system. Zexi is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by BRADIO-Flyers. 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.
