Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rice Pilaf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anthony McReynolds (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pilaf comes to the cage accompanied by chinese rap. McReynolds has chosen 100 bars of Death as his entrance music. 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?
