Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tory Hopkins (ranked 2045 p4p, 1032 weight class) and Drax Bautista (ranked 284 p4p, 156 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hopkins might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Last Time That I Checc'd by Nipsey Hussle & YG. Tory Hopkins could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Drax Bautista's chin.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Louis Princip (ranked 1073 p4p, 378 weight class) and Akaro Horiguchi (ranked 149 p4p, 63 weight class). Princip comes into the arena with Lord of This World by Black Sabbath blaring out of the sound system. Horiguchi has chosen Japanese Imperial Army Death March 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.
