Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dagestan Opasevich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joel Savage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Opasevich might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Мурад Гусев. Dagestan Opasevich could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Joel Savage's chin.
