Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mike Diesel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Horus The Hawk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Diesel might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "What You Know" - T.I.. 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.
