Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Slot Waster (ranked 2685 p4p, 317 weight class) and Greek God (ranked 3202 p4p, 365 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying God's choice of entrance music: KINGS - Bikini | Μπικίνι. 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?
