Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Arjan Bhullar (ranked 29 p4p, 4 weight class) and Archibald Knox (ranked 236 p4p, 38 weight class). Bhullar's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Lords of the Underground - Chief Rocka. 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?
