Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dale Doback (ranked 1421 p4p, 2452 weight class) and Colin McDudley (ranked 204 p4p, 328 weight class). McDudley has chosen Devil's Dance Floor as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
