Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Stiman (ranked 4146 p4p, 362 weight class) and James Lesnar (ranked 4445 p4p, 377 weight class). 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?
