Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Apollinaire Aury (ranked 3378 p4p, 5465 weight class) and Merton Snel (ranked 430 p4p, 588 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Aury might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Party Up. 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.
