Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tesco Vee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jomar Requina (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vee's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple man. 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?
