Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Josh Robertson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leroy Brow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Robertson comes to the ring accompanied by State of the union by Rise Against. Brow is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Cool Kids "So Neat". 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.
