Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nick Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Simeon Grundy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Grundy has chosen Enter Sandman as his entrance music. Nick Diaz looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
