Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Saturn (ranked 3145 p4p, 3431 weight class) and Amri Mbeki (ranked 98 p4p, 116 weight class). Mbeki is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Judas (Audio). 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?
