Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ben Simmons (ranked 674 p4p, 803 weight class) and Jax Chambers (ranked 22 p4p, 26 weight class). 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?
