Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between JanPeter Balkenende (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Snap Yo Leg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Balkenende might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to another 1 bites the dust. JanPeter Balkenende could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Snap Yo Leg's chin.
