Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jon Threat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Beelzebub Abaddon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Abaddon has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Jon Threat has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
