Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Iancu Calmuschi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sweeney McIntyre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Calmuschi's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, "The Night" by Disturbed. 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?
