Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Solomon Augustine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Augustine's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Empire State of Mind-Biggie Smalls ft. Jay-z. 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?
