Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gene Beavis (ranked 4215 p4p, 5194 weight class) and Bjorn Akerfeldt (ranked 514 p4p, 586 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Beavis might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Real American. 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.
