Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bosco O Neill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sterling Archer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). O Neill comes to the cage accompanied by Survival. Archer is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone . 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?
