Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mamed Khalidovic (ranked 4725 p4p, 4837 weight class) and Michal Materlak (ranked 198 p4p, 205 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Khalidovic might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sabotage. Materlak has chosen Marzenia as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
