Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Randy Miller (ranked 1537 p4p, 205 weight class) and Biggie Righty Handy (ranked 1850 p4p, 249 weight class). Miller comes into the arena with Who Was In My Room Last Night by Butthole Surfers blaring out of the sound system. 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?
