Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Noriyuki Nayoui (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fedor Khalidov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Khalidov is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Punks Jump Up To Get Beatdown. 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?
