Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ricco El Suave (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mohammad Malik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Malik is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Stronger. 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?
