Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Arnfinn Nesset (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Salvatore Fecchinni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nesset's entrance music is Psycho Killer. A fine choice. 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?
