Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nero Padilla (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ben Roofer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Padilla comes to the cage accompanied by Dead by Dawn by Deicide. Roofer has chosen Jonesmann Feat. Azad - Der Soldat James Rhyme 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.
