Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Demarco Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and OJ Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Williams comes to the cage accompanied by It's My Time. Black is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ja Rule feat. Fat Joe & Jadakiss - New York. 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.
