Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Duran (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lenny Mclean (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Duran comes to the cage accompanied by Immortale Technique - Death March. Mclean has chosen Oasis - F**king in the bushes as his entrance music. 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?
