Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pekka Karma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kreisi Bailaaja (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Karma might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pekka paukuttaa ja naiset itkee.. Karma has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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?
