Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bjarni Agnarsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Suf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Agnarsson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Black Pearl. Bob Suf has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
