Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Xavier Bane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sanouk Fairtex (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bane comes to the cage accompanied by Ego Draconis. Fairtex has chosen Illusion-DJ Tiesto as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
