Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pegg Frost (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marshall Mathers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Mathers's choice of entrance music: Square Dance. 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?
