Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tony Stark (ranked 218 p4p, 130 weight class) and Randy Randleman (ranked 34 p4p, 22 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Randleman's choice of entrance music: Bloodhound Gang - Bad Touch. 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?
