Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Lance Templeton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eddie Clark (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Templeton comes to the cage accompanied by Trap Ball. Clark is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by All Fired Up. 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?
