Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between James Smith (ranked 402 p4p, 2631 weight class) and Rico Cole (ranked 60 p4p, 321 weight class). Cole comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Gerardo's Rico Suave kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
