Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Buck Naked (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rolls Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Naked comes to the ring accompanied by Let's Get It On. Gracie has chosen Wu-Tang Clan - The Mystery Of Chessboxin 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.
