Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rauta Naama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kaheli Sonni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Naama might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bulls On Parade. Sonni has chosen Chica as his entrance music. Rauta Naama has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
