Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bo Duran (ranked 3 p4p, 64 weight class) and Elwyn Donal (ranked 1 p4p, 11 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Duran might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to This Could be Anywhere in the World. 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?
