Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andre Azh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Potemkin Buster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Azh might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Manu Militari - Voix De Fait. Andre Azh could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Potemkin Buster's chin.
