Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Peter Beardsley (ranked 4336 p4p, 6049 weight class) and David Kelly (ranked 166 p4p, 206 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?
