Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Rodriguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luke Shapiro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rodriguez's entrance music is Chelsea Smile. A fine choice. Shapiro has chosen The Wackness as his entrance music. 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.
