Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dennis Nilsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hades Underworld (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nilsson comes into the arena with Zukyun Love by Mini Moni blaring out of the sound system. Underworld has chosen Mr. Torture as his entrance music. 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?
