Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Riyu Mendes (ranked 6436 p4p, 2949 weight class) and Sam Winchester (ranked 607 p4p, 371 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?
