Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between toms tom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juan Edwards (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Edwards has chosen Welcome To The Jungle as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
