Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Samuel Washington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clive Simmons (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Washington might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jared Hudson - Metal Gear May Cry. 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?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yance Sackett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Huston Rustow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sackett might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Boulevard of Broken Dreams. 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?
