Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Stan Shamrock (ranked 119 p4p, 698 weight class) and Marcos De Souza (ranked 20 p4p, 89 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?
