Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Marco Centofanti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jose Aldo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aldo is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Rough Rida. 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?
