Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jerome Powers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Khumpai Prayut (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Powers kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is We Run This - Missy Elliot. 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?
