Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kaoru Hanayama (ranked 1216 p4p, 1174 weight class) and Miro Tynkkynen (ranked 28 p4p, 27 weight class). Hanayama comes into the arena with Plan Three - Triggers blaring out of the sound system. 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?
