Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Balal Lama (ranked 1779 p4p, 2410 weight class) and Tommi Ritola (ranked 212 p4p, 280 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?
