Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Viiksi Tolonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommi Kauri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tolonen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kid Rock - American Bad Ass. Tommi Kauri has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
