Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sergey Panikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kay Ector (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Panikov comes to the cage accompanied by Fighters. Ector has chosen Monster! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
