Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Deanthony Pederson (ranked 521 p4p, 1289 weight class) and Phillip Coles (ranked 54 p4p, 153 weight class). Coles has chosen HonestKey- Pass 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?
