Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Fred Ettish (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mr Translucent (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ettish might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to With Karate I'll Kick Your Ass. 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.
