Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rich Aces High (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brik Holtik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Aces High might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Knock em Dead Kid. 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?
