Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Roydell Gibbons (ranked 2930 p4p, 1358 weight class) and Colin Nox (ranked 359 p4p, 191 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gibbons might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to HonestKey- Raw Dog. Nox has chosen Mobb Deep - Shook Ones as his entrance music. Roydell Gibbons has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
