Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dave Wave (ranked 3481 p4p, 5321 weight class) and Elias Korpela (ranked 444 p4p, 580 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wave might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Heaven (OWLLE Remix). Elias Korpela will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
