Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Irvine Kinneas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rob Pomper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Pomper's choice of entrance music: Cotten eye joe. 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?
