Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Sylvain Lievremont (ranked 1156 p4p, 131 weight class) and John Michael Benitoy (ranked 1243 p4p, 149 weight class). Lievremont's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Stromae - Papaoutai. 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?
