Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between BJ Walters (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mickey Rogers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rogers has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Mickey Rogers will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
