Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Max Chaos (ranked 403 p4p, 60 weight class) and Lee Roy (ranked 380 p4p, 56 weight class). Chaos's entrance music is Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face. A fine choice. Roy has chosen Cry, Cry, Cry 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.
