Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Chief Tecumseh (ranked 3814 p4p, 3921 weight class) and Ekon Odogwu (ranked 403 p4p, 417 weight class). Odogwu is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Lucky Man - The Verve. 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?
