Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Maciej Michura (ranked 2021 p4p, 4959 weight class) and Pierre Bernard (ranked 279 p4p, 557 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Michura might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Can't Be Touched. 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.
