Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dan Stack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pekka Pouta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stack might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Deer Dance. 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.
