Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Karson Caldwell (ranked 1558 p4p, 1566 weight class) and Leroy Michel (ranked 186 p4p, 189 weight class). Michel is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by GILBERT BECAUD ET MAINTENANT 1964 LIVE IN AMSTERDAM. 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.
