Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Fredrik White (ranked 756 p4p, 488 weight class) and Olivier Dujardin (ranked 102 p4p, 64 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think White might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone. Dujardin has chosen Sosa by Leto & Guy2bezbar 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?
