Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Buzz Bixby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kostas Karelis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Karelis is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Sail - AwolNation. 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?
