Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Max Von Meyer (ranked 325 p4p, 1142 weight class) and Kuju Da Silva (ranked 44 p4p, 148 weight class). 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?
