Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Kingston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Avgolemono Magiritsa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Magiritsa has chosen ZORBA! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
