Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jacks Sole (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vadim Nazarov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nazarov is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: "Fade to Black" by Metallica. 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?
