Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dominique Bell (ranked 968 p4p, 99 weight class) and Mick Mulvaney (ranked 3002 p4p, 271 weight class). Mulvaney comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Rocky Road To Dublin kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
