Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Juan Delgado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Baekjae Kim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kim is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by CANON in D Korean Version (with gayageum) . 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?
