Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eugene Canedo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frederick Wordsworth Ward (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Canedo's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, NFG - Dressed to Kill (You). 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?
