Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ben Grimm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sellus Gravius (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gravius has chosen Morrowind as his entrance music. 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?
