Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jack Adlehyde (ranked 371 p4p, 1501 weight class) and Darius Frank (ranked 62 p4p, 206 weight class). Frank has chosen Trapper x Foogiano as his entrance music. 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?
