Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jesse Kilpatrick (ranked 2735 p4p, 395 weight class) and Gary Willis (ranked 2563 p4p, 372 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Willis's choice of entrance music: Metallica - Fade to Black. 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?
