Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Yukimura Gomi (ranked 3177 p4p, 361 weight class) and Richard Nixon (ranked 1781 p4p, 225 weight class). Gomi's entrance music is Peak Times by Switch. A fine choice. 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?
