Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Phuc Dat Bich (ranked 1224 p4p, 1977 weight class) and Andrey Karaev (ranked 137 p4p, 211 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?
