Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Vitali Popov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phrisbee OReiley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Popov comes to the cage accompanied by Tupac - Last Muthafucka Breathin'. OReiley has chosen Shoot To Thrill 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?
