Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Calixto Cardona (ranked 441 p4p, 459 weight class) and Action Bastard (ranked 50 p4p, 52 weight class). Bastard is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Japanese And Lovely - Jucifer. 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?
