Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sigvard Engelbrekt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kyle Cook (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Engelbrekt might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rome - Der Brandtaucher. Kyle Cook will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dirk Hasselhoff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rune Edvall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hasselhoff might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Another One Bites the Dust. Edvall is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Robert tepper - No easy way out. 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?
