Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dirk Diggler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mauno Alanaama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alanaama has chosen Soulfly - Fuel the Hate as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
