Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Bernhard River (ranked 379 p4p, 400 weight class) and Gervais Lavigne (ranked 21 p4p, 22 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think River might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Metallica: Enter Sandman. 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?
