Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Agent Smith (ranked 437 p4p, 380 weight class) and Bubba Rolls (ranked 63 p4p, 50 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Rolls's choice of entrance music: Moonshine Bandits - For The Outlawz. 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.
