Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Pertti Silsa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Elmo Elmo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Silsa might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Candy by Robbie Williams. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
