Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ray Zero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Teo Christofi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zero's entrance music is Fozzy's "Shine Forever". A fine choice. 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?
