Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bob Russell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Russell might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rio by Duran Duran. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
