Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Caige (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Travis Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Caige might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Silverchair- israel's Son. 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?
