Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Keith Bishop (ranked 771 p4p, 97 weight class) and Gniewomir Lach (ranked 550 p4p, 71 weight class). Lach comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Soel kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
