Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between MF Jones (ranked 2126 p4p, 3059 weight class) and Bennett Knightley (ranked 250 p4p, 342 weight class). Knightley has chosen Hang ‘Em High - NCR 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?
