Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Quintan Hach (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Torres (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hach's entrance music is Red Bowling Ball Ruth byThe White Stripes. A fine choice. Hach has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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?
