Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Fredrik White (ranked 1191 p4p, 1941 weight class) and Eusebio Montoya (ranked 162 p4p, 236 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think White might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone. 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?
