Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Camaras Account (ranked 95 p4p, 153 weight class) and Constantin Niculescu (ranked 16 p4p, 26 weight class). 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?
