Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kenneth Smith (ranked 827 p4p, 332 weight class) and Chip Nickel (ranked 123 p4p, 49 weight class). Smith's entrance music is Creep. A fine choice. Nickel has chosen TISM - Greg the Stop Sign 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?
