Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lazaros Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randall Flagg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Flagg is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Don't Fear the Reaper. 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?
