Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Demitri Borschtanoff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Larry Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Borschtanoff might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Darude - Sandstorm. Davis has chosen Atomic Dog - George Clinton as his entrance music. 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?
