Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jose Rozemblit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Calvin Duran (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rozemblit might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pain. Duran has chosen Seven devils - Florence 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?
