Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Michael Benoit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henry Morgan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Benoit's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Praise. Morgan is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by No Easy Way Out. 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?
