Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Anthony Hopkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Random Collective (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Collective's choice of entrance music: Barricade. 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.
