Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Abram Sansalvador (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kazna Futzchag (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sansalvador might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Of Wolf and Man. Futzchag has chosen Dione as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
