Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bruce Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Dimachaerus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lee comes to the cage accompanied by Tourniquet . The crowd seem to be enjoying Dimachaerus's choice of entrance music: Metallica - The Unforgiven. 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?
