Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rod Quantock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dean Walker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Quantock comes to the cage accompanied by Meant to be funny, not an ad.. Walker has chosen Funkadelic - Super Stupid 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?
