Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Zahir Harden (ranked 2123 p4p, 3135 weight class) and Angus Scott (ranked 271 p4p, 364 weight class). Scott has chosen Eatin pussy and kickin ass 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?
