Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jack Spratt (ranked 242 p4p, 252 weight class) and Bora Khan (ranked 31 p4p, 32 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Spratt might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fit But You Know It. Khan has chosen Tim McGraw - Live Like You Were Dying 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?
