Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Karl Denke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fred Ettish (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Denke comes to the cage accompanied by Runnin With The Devil. Ettish has chosen With Karate I'll Kick Your Ass as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
