Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Tapater Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kip Dynamite (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rua's entrance music is Hordes Of Chaos. A fine choice. 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?
