Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Davie Brophy (ranked 436 p4p, 48 weight class) and Matt Smith (ranked 852 p4p, 88 weight class). Brophy's entrance music is Pantera - Walk. A fine choice. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
