Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jason Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Black Belt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lee's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Wiley - Take That. 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?
