Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lloyd Blue (ranked 757 p4p, 2323 weight class) and Gan Bayarmaa (ranked 98 p4p, 271 weight class). Blue's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, HonestKey- When I Wake Up. 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?
