Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Keha Anoki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clifford Donovan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Anoki might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Walking After You. Clifford Donovan will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
