Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stanislaw Golgota (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fowwest Gump (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Golgota might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Condemned 84 - Face the Aggression . Fowwest Gump is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
