Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Andreas Jonsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Richard Bravo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jonsson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lover's Concerto by Kelly Chen. 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?
