Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Herger Ysengrin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dag Daghammar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Daghammar is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Just like that - Dregen. 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?
