Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Owen Schmitt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gary Hudson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Schmitt's entrance music is In God We Trust - Stryper. A fine choice. Hudson has chosen Roll Over DJ 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.
