Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tam Yu Tai (ranked 82 p4p, 191 weight class) and Roland Weudke (ranked 10 p4p, 22 weight class). Yu Tai comes into the arena with Invincible Pole Fighter blaring out of the sound system. 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?
