Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Junior Lewis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jay The Killer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). 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?
