Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wolfgang Muller (ranked 127 p4p, 173 weight class) and Grant Alyoshin (ranked 19 p4p, 27 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Muller might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to In the Hall of the Mountain King. 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?
