Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Lucky Day (ranked 2805 p4p, 309 weight class) and Knock Out (ranked 2534 p4p, 286 weight class). 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?
