Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mason Jones (ranked 50 p4p, 118 weight class) and Terry Silver (ranked 7 p4p, 18 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?
