Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Vince Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roger Salavara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Roger Salavara told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
