Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mace Blackblood (ranked 850 p4p, 116 weight class) and Ludwig Von Mises (ranked 2043 p4p, 260 weight class). Blackblood's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Gorgoroth Open the Gates. 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?
