Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Pit Bull (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Otis Gein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gein has chosen Puritania 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?
