Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Child (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tim Wright (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Child kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is VooDoo Child. 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?
