Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Pika Chu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and The Beast (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chu's entrance music is Gotta Catch Em All. A fine choice. 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?
