Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dmitriy Bukharin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Krayzor Windfather (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bukharin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" by Brad Fiedel. Windfather has chosen All The Above as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
