Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Samor Kanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hjalmar Soderberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kanen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to BURN ONE DOWN. Samor Kanen could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Hjalmar Soderberg's chin.
