Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hugh Honey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kirill Filipovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Honey comes into the arena with Cruising in Miami by Bass 305 blaring out of the sound system. Filipovic is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Crepitating Bowel Erosion, Carcass. 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?
