Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kurtis Couturier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luke Rockstar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Couturier might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Forever Angel. The crowd seem to be enjoying Rockstar's choice of entrance music: Defend With Violence - Throwdown. 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?
