Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Arjan Bhullar (ranked 40 p4p, 3 weight class) and Junkyard Dog (ranked 75 p4p, 8 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bhullar might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lords of the Underground - Chief Rocka. 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?
