Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Josh Massey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vadim Nazarov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Massey comes into the arena with 5 minutes Alone blaring out of the sound system. Nazarov has chosen "Fade to Black" by Metallica as his entrance music. 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?
