Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Razkan Karmax (ranked 1968 p4p, 1633 weight class) and Antonio Barbosa (ranked 263 p4p, 222 weight class).

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tyson Asakura (ranked 1350 p4p, 1139 weight class) and Bender Mein Armbach (ranked 177 p4p, 153 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Asakura might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to JJBA - Giorno's Theme. Mein Armbach comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Enter Sandman, Metallica kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
