Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Scotty Bapp (ranked 9 p4p, 47 weight class) and Jean-Claude Marceau (ranked 2 p4p, 8 weight class). Marceau comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Feist - Tout Doucement kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
