Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mace Blackblood (ranked 791 p4p, 115 weight class) and Bruno Brunatny (ranked 3234 p4p, 405 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Blackblood might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gorgoroth Open the Gates. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
