Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jericho Hill (ranked 173 p4p, 26 weight class) and Remi Highjack (ranked 211 p4p, 30 weight class). Highjack is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Iron Maiden - Run to the hills. 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?
