Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Artem Ivanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Truman Roosevelt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ivanov comes to the cage accompanied by Mad World. Roosevelt is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Gravel Pit by Wu Tang Clan. 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?
