Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Marco Paris (ranked 144 p4p, 163 weight class) and Barack Obaminator (ranked 18 p4p, 21 weight class). Obaminator has chosen Gil Scott-Herron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised 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.
