Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Schwartz Gomez (ranked 355 p4p, 1909 weight class) and Travis Copeland (ranked 52 p4p, 269 weight class). Gomez's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, POP SMOKE - GOT IT ON ME. 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.
