Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bo Abobo (ranked 3333 p4p, 3915 weight class) and Charles Sanders (ranked 154 p4p, 175 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Sanders's choice of entrance music: Le Freak- CHIC. 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?
