Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hank Roy (ranked 506 p4p, 78 weight class) and Ronnie Hepple (ranked 721 p4p, 103 weight class). Roy's entrance music is Heat of the Moment. A fine choice. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
