Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Xantos Aremis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Beattie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Aremis might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Infected Mushroom - Merlin. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
