Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Aaron Witt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jones Zica (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Witt comes to the cage accompanied by Animal by Disturbed. Zica has chosen Master of Puppets by Metallica 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?
