Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Max Mega (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Damien Price (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mega's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Black and Yellow. 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?
