Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kaki Mountain (ranked 52 p4p, 126 weight class) and Max Chaos (ranked 8 p4p, 17 weight class). Chaos has chosen Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face 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?
