Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bach Schtrappe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jerzy Killer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Schtrappe might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Phobia by Kreator. Bach Schtrappe could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jerzy Killer's chin.
