Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Juan Koski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Giorgio Conte (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Koski might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Accept - Head Over Heels. Giorgio Conte is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
