Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Meat Beater (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yuri Boyka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boyka is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by http://youtu.be/qeFocnqhnQM. 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?
