Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ruslan Mstislav Volkov (ranked 2461 p4p, 208 weight class) and Shelby Foote (ranked 2285 p4p, 199 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Volkov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Riverdance. Ruslan Mstislav Volkov could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Shelby Foote's chin.
