Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Pavel Katasonov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brent Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Katasonov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to In Extremo - Wind. Brent Carter has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
