Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Archibald Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lucky Stratton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anderson comes into the arena with Dropkick Murphys - Warriors Code blaring out of the sound system. 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?
