Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Andrei Voronov (ranked 2508 p4p, 317 weight class) and Kalle Kossu (ranked 1105 p4p, 155 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Voronov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Noize Mc - Make Destroy . 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.
