Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Auric Gallahad (ranked 537 p4p, 4507 weight class) and Rustam Magomedov (ranked 83 p4p, 497 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gallahad might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Go to War. Rustam Magomedov will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
