Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Robin Williams (ranked 177 p4p, 436 weight class) and Nick Shamrock (ranked 21 p4p, 57 weight class). Shamrock is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: One Winged Angel by The Black Mages. 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?
