Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between AJ Llewellyn (ranked 595 p4p, 129 weight class) and Kohinata Minoru Ii (ranked 79 p4p, 16 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Llewellyn might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Doomsday. 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.
