Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Martin Ruus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dee Pain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Pain's choice of entrance music: AC/DC - If you want Blood (You've got it). 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?
