Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dean Duggan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Manolito Damhuis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Duggan comes into the arena with The Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger 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?
