Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Juji Gatame (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gary Player (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gatame might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Storm. Player has chosen Kevin Gates feat. August Alsina - I Don't Get Tired 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.
