Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Little Kitty Sripituksakul (ranked 468 p4p, 1128 weight class) and Ryan Anderson (ranked 76 p4p, 162 weight class). Anderson has chosen Chase the bag (King Von) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
