Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between John McClane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and GK King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McClane's entrance music is Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold. A fine choice. King has chosen ACDC- Thunderstruck 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?
