Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Haka Tonga (ranked 3280 p4p, 368 weight class) and Guido Turturro (ranked 3044 p4p, 337 weight class). Tonga comes to the cage accompanied by voodoo. 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?
