Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Super Heavyweight (ranked 825 p4p, 24 weight class) and Bobby Loseur (ranked 2966 p4p, 95 weight class). 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?
