Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kanbei Shimada (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Shimada might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Party and Bullshit. 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?
