Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Derk Voorheis (ranked 1870 p4p, 1871 weight class) and Agansing Rai (ranked 263 p4p, 264 weight class). Rai has chosen Wolf Totem 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?
