Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Vicente Lafayette (ranked 57 p4p, 9 weight class) and Yancy Makaki Iii (ranked 204 p4p, 27 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?
