Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Paulo Mendes (ranked 2241 p4p, 1434 weight class) and Roydell Gibbons (ranked 291 p4p, 202 weight class). Mendes comes to the cage accompanied by Future - Last Breath. Gibbons has chosen HonestKey- Raw Dog 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?
