Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Valentin Saric (ranked 3322 p4p, 1457 weight class) and Derek Erwin (ranked 123 p4p, 60 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?
