Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ganbaatar Khan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hugo Carmody (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Khan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bad Seed - Watch It Burn. Hugo Carmody will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
