Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brass Knuckles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thor Modi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Knuckles kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rooster. 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?
