Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Patrick Jayne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hiilo Rodrigo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jayne comes to the cage accompanied by Special Ed - I'm The Magnificent. Rodrigo is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Jedi Mind Tricks- The Philosophy of Horror. 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.
