Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Otto McBean (ranked 783 p4p, 529 weight class) and Lester Green (ranked 58 p4p, 39 weight class). Green is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: This Is Beetle. 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?
