Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Karlsson Pĺ Taket (ranked 1219 p4p, 148 weight class) and Noam Nystrom (ranked 1825 p4p, 205 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pĺ Taket might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Stuck In The Middle With You. Karlsson Pĺ Taket could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Noam Nystrom's chin.
