Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dave Beast (ranked 1635 p4p, 206 weight class) and Luke Dibala (ranked 2303 p4p, 273 weight class). Dibala has chosen Welcome to the Jungle as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
