Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Konstantin Kalyagin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Horst Linkke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kalyagin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Show Me Your Genitals. Linkke is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Anamanaguchi - Helix Nebula. 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?
