Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bjorn Ragnar (ranked 254 p4p, 32 weight class) and Ravi Shankoli (ranked 737 p4p, 95 weight class). Ragnar's entrance music is Shook Ones II. A fine choice. 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?
