Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Darren Woodley (ranked 3088 p4p, 324 weight class) and Peeta Winkle (ranked 7322 p4p, 523 weight class). Woodley kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Scorpions - Winds Of 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?
