Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Michael Edmodson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gus Beau (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Edmodson's entrance music is Deorro - Yee. 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?
