Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Keenwah Granes (ranked 851 p4p, 836 weight class) and Charlie River (ranked 64 p4p, 63 weight class). Granes comes to the cage accompanied by 敢不敢. River has chosen Waylon Jennings - I've Always Been Crazy as his entrance music. 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?
