Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ray White (ranked 610 p4p, 1079 weight class) and Bing Bang (ranked 27 p4p, 76 weight class). White kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is HonestKey- Change. 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?
