Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dudley Dilbrandt (ranked 2606 p4p, 2912 weight class) and Atticus Turner (ranked 312 p4p, 346 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dilbrandt might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Slam feat. Tyrone 'Visionary' Palmer - "Lifetimes (Extended Club Journey)" . Dudley Dilbrandt could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Atticus Turner's chin.
