Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Chip Nickel (ranked 80 p4p, 196 weight class) and Korben Dallas (ranked 10 p4p, 28 weight class). Nickel's entrance music is TISM - Greg the Stop Sign. A fine choice. 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.
