Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sten Biller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and KJ Talley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Biller's entrance music is Lützenkirchen- Nutcracker. A fine choice. 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?
