Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Papa Granit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Attila Skif (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Granit might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Trumpsta (Contiez feat. Treyy G). Papa Granit could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Attila Skif's chin.
