Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Winston Todd (ranked 39 p4p, 65 weight class) and Joe Exotic (ranked 5 p4p, 13 weight class). Todd comes into the arena with Piano Man blaring out of the sound system. Exotic has chosen Joe Exotic - I Saw a Tiger 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?
