Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between John Wensink (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Filemom Macarenco (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wensink's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Momma Said Knock You 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?
