Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Snake Duanesboy (ranked 157 p4p, 9 weight class) and Felix Jaroslav (ranked 404 p4p, 19 weight class). Jaroslav comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Sound of Running Feet kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
