Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between The Guy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Urpo Muilu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Guy comes to the cage accompanied by Old Spice Guy Intro. Muilu is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: he's going the distance. 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?
