Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between John Allerdyce (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mace Windu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Allerdyce might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fire Track. 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?
