Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Eduardo Carvalho (ranked 2529 p4p, 2956 weight class) and Kyung Ho Kang (ranked 218 p4p, 247 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?
