Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Malik Al-Khaldi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Al-Khaldi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Razihel - Legends (feat. TeamMate) (Trident Edit). Anderson has chosen Mouth For War as his entrance music. 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?
