Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Rebel Smith (ranked 1291 p4p, 1440 weight class) and Giuseppe Amodei (ranked 183 p4p, 203 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?
