Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ace Surprise (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kari Moukari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Surprise might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Remember my NAME!. Moukari is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Tech N9ne - Stress Relief. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
