Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Brian Kennedy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Quinn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Quinn comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Crisis by Twista Feat. Tech N9ne kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
