Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vaas Haas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wilder Wein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Haas comes into the arena with Małpa - Sztorm blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Wein's choice of entrance music: Wilder Wein. 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?
