Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jakub Chlapik (ranked 1127 p4p, 150 weight class) and Victor Tellegio (ranked 1148 p4p, 152 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chlapik might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to PIPES AND PINTS / Criticized . 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.
