Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bali Mo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Raymonds (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Raymonds has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Bali Mo has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
