Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Chris John (ranked 168 p4p, 877 weight class) and Rickson Caceres (ranked 24 p4p, 121 weight class). John's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Don't Stop Me Now. Chris John has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
