Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Gustaf Hansson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Franco Nero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Nero's choice of entrance music: Ennio Morricone - Vamos amatar companeros. 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?
