Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Joshua Jones (ranked 2460 p4p, 1769 weight class) and Kwame Kombate (ranked 238 p4p, 173 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?
