Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Konstantin Magomedov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oskar Winogrodzki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Magomedov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ave Maria. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
