Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ronny Bruvik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Quid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bruvik might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rånny Bruvik. Quid has chosen The Wicker Man 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?
