Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kok Svin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Anus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Svin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Know your enemy - Rage against the machine. Anus has chosen Nick Diaz Rap Song as his entrance music. Kok Svin could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Mike Anus's chin.
