Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bob Vendarra (ranked 2811 p4p, 2445 weight class) and Kosuke Ishimura (ranked 354 p4p, 313 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Vendarra might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Metallica - Of Wolf And Man. Bob Vendarra could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Kosuke Ishimura's chin.
