Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kelvin Parker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Terry Akki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Parker might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Flash - Queen . These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
