Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Steve Shirwin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Souka Sudoka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Shirwin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Still Standing - Hilltop Hoods. 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?
