Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nakki Fakiiri (ranked 666 p4p, 83 weight class) and Kukulcan Tonga (ranked 376 p4p, 48 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fakiiri might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Arch Enemy - You Will Know My Name. Kukulcan Tonga told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
