Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Arnold Fuchs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Taz Brandon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fuchs comes into the arena with Piano Concerto No. 21 blaring out of the sound system. Brandon is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Ace Of Spades. 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?
