Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Patrice Beaudry (ranked 1926 p4p, 210 weight class) and John Bravo (ranked 2335 p4p, 250 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?
