Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Joey Simone (ranked 2235 p4p, 2789 weight class) and Avraam Papadopoulos (ranked 295 p4p, 353 weight class). Simone comes to the cage accompanied by Gucci Mane - Trap God Intro. The crowd seem to be enjoying Papadopoulos's choice of entrance music: Lil Uzi Vert - That's A Rack. 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?
