Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kareem Johnson (ranked 21 p4p, 83 weight class) and Chip Nickel (ranked 4 p4p, 14 weight class). Nickel has chosen TISM - Greg the Stop Sign 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?
