Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Darren Lamb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergio Bujol (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lamb comes into the arena with Tea for the Tillerman blaring out of the sound system. 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?
