Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Wangler (ranked 484 p4p, 65 weight class) and Chet Rollins (ranked 1439 p4p, 207 weight class). Wangler's entrance music is The Pogues - Sally Maclennane. A fine choice. Rollins is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: God's Gonna Cut You Down- Johnny Cash. 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.
