Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Clayton Kosh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joey Blocks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kosh's entrance music is Song 2. A fine choice. Blocks comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Jucifer's " L'autrichienne" kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
