Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lapu Lapu (ranked 283 p4p, 40 weight class) and Ravi Shankoli (ranked 272 p4p, 39 weight class). Lapu comes into the arena with Don't Stop Believin' blaring out of the sound system. Shankoli has chosen Ravi Shankar - Om Shiva 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?
