Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Renji Abarai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miller Gozu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Abarai might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Before I Forget. Miller Gozu has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
