Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Samuel Rodrigues (ranked 764 p4p, 105 weight class) and Johnny Lewis (ranked 2483 p4p, 294 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?
