Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ricky Thompson (ranked 116 p4p, 99 weight class) and Alexis Machine (ranked 11 p4p, 7 weight class). Machine is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Satan Is Real. 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?
