Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roman Sionis (ranked 176 p4p, 18 weight class) and Frank Brewer (ranked 357 p4p, 41 weight class). Brewer has chosen Gangster's Paradise 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?
