Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Helio James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oscar Alarcon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). James's entrance music is Limp Bizkit Eat You Alive. A fine choice. 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?
