Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dean Worish (ranked 3281 p4p, 5707 weight class) and Troy Hoffman (ranked 416 p4p, 615 weight class). Hoffman has chosen Fireproof 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?
