Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ballard Magnar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rajja Khan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Khan is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by tubular bells. 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?
