Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Cooper Drake (ranked 4098 p4p, 479 weight class) and Darryl Rose (ranked 2510 p4p, 316 weight class). Rose has chosen Mobb Deep - Shook ones as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
