Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dakota Royer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergiy Sklyar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Royer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Speak Militant- Sabac Red. Sklyar is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Scarface - No Tears. Dakota Royer has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
