Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roberto Marley (ranked 6773 p4p, 4730 weight class) and Mario Buck (ranked 672 p4p, 0 weight class). Marley's entrance music is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOFu6b3w6c0. A fine choice. Roberto Marley looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
