Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dean Gaines (ranked 807 p4p, 1401 weight class) and Aden Burgers (ranked 110 p4p, 178 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?
