Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Barney Gumble (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vitaly Karelin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Karelin is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Russian National Anthem. 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?
