Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bob Cook (ranked 1664 p4p, 222 weight class) and Hans Schwartzmuller (ranked 6113 p4p, 509 weight class).

Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Hans Schwartzmuller told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
