Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Dave Long (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mikel Skiel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Long's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I bust heads. 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?
