Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Bronco (ranked 588 p4p, 503 weight class) and Teuvo Turunen (ranked 95 p4p, 76 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bronco might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Horses - Daryl Braithwaite . Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
