Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Desmond Grey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pedro Lopez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lopez is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by South Texas Death Ride. 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.
