Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Krystian Soszynski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bryan Mayhem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Soszynski comes to the ring accompanied by Sabaton - 40 : 1. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Bryan Mayhem was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
