Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Antoni Kristofer Hong (ranked 2155 p4p, 284 weight class) and Szandor Storm (ranked 1736 p4p, 230 weight class). Hong comes into the arena with Super Power blaring out of the sound system. Storm has chosen Pantera - 5 Minutes Alone as his entrance music. 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?
