Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ivan Maksim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johny Trax (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maksim kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is RUSSIA 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?
