Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andre Darkov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Heckli Koch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Darkov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Extreme ways. Koch has chosen Kamikaze as his entrance music. Heckli Koch will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
