Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Max Ford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Omar Little (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Little has chosen Snoop Dogg - Murder was the Case 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.
