Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nestor Makhno (ranked 2418 p4p, 3525 weight class) and Gerwazy Babula (ranked 302 p4p, 397 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Makhno might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Yablochko. Nestor Makhno could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Gerwazy Babula's chin.
