Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Florencio Bernardo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Mashinko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bernardo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Una Vela. Mike Mashinko has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
