Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Eric Frost (ranked 275 p4p, 417 weight class) and Danny Vargas (ranked 34 p4p, 56 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?
