Co-main event
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Xun Zemin (ranked 338 p4p, 146 weight class) and Rudy Rhod (ranked 44 p4p, 17 weight class). Rhod has chosen Prince - Kiss 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?
