Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kristof Pardi (ranked 1017 p4p, 1267 weight class) and Mawvin Vetorwee (ranked 115 p4p, 138 weight class). Pardi's entrance music is Party Boy Theme. A fine choice. 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?
