Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Michal Andruszkiewicz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derek Riggs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Andruszkiewicz might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Nine - Make Or Take feat. Smooth Da Hustler . 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?
