Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ceaser El Toro Jr (ranked 67 p4p, 10 weight class) and Donald Trump (ranked 179 p4p, 27 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?
