Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Joseph Jostrzebski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gale Snoats (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jostrzebski's entrance music is Candyman. 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?
