Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Canis Lupus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harold Neumann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lupus's entrance music is Wolf Song. A fine choice. 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?
