Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alan Odrobny (ranked 7843 p4p, 195 weight class) and Johannes Boe (ranked 6779 p4p, 181 weight class). Boe has chosen Agnes - Release Me as his entrance music. Boe has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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?
