Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Cyrus Sawyer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eddie Alvarez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sawyer kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is MegaDeth- This Day We FIGHT!. 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?
