Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Snow Man (ranked 90 p4p, 7 weight class) and Stu Grimson (ranked 109 p4p, 8 weight class). Grimson has chosen Omerta - Lamb of God 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?
