Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Peter Potter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Belcher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Potter's entrance music is Cherry Pie by Warrant. 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?
